Verse
B D#m
Now that I have lived
E F#
G# lifetime's worth of days
B D#m
Finally I see
E F#
The folly of my ways
B D#m
So listen when I sing of
E F#
The temptations of this world
B D#m
Fancy cars and needles
E F#
Whisky, flesh and pearls
E F#
And then in the end
B E
It's family and friends
E F#
Loving yourself
D#m E
But not only yourself
E
Its about the good walk
F#
And the hard walk
D#m E
And the young girls you've made cry
F#
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
[Chorus]
B D#m
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
F#m E
Beautiful Ri-de (Beautiful ride)
G F# B
Beautiful beautiful ride
[Verse]
B D#m
As I stand on the precipice of death
E F#
My perspective is enormous
B D#m
Every leaf, every cloud
E F#
I see the hands which have formed us
B D#m
And some days all you got
E F#
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
B D#m
And you whistle some sweet melody
E C#
To the ghosts down at the dock
[Bridge]
D# Gm
Sing in to your hand
G# A#
Lead the marching band
D# Gm G# A#
Dont you let 'em fade your colors gray
D# Gm
'Cause when all is said and done
G# A#
When youth is spent and burned
D# Gm
You'll see that it's all about
G#
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Accepting your mortality!
G# A#
This is finally what I've learned!
G# A#
And then in the end
D# G#
It's family and friends
G# A#
Loving yourself
G G#
But not only yourself
G#
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
G# A#
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
[Chorus]
D# Gm
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
A#m G#
Beautiful Ri-de
G#m G D#
Beautiful beautiful ride
A#m G#
Beautiful Ri-de
G#m Gm D#
Beautiful beautiful ride
